Hey, Emperor Guillotine - I actually just posted one other time in the 6-strings forum and the mods moved it. That was it, sorry about that. I wasn't sure where this belonged, hence two posts. But it looks like another user posted something like "please find me a dream guitar" which might be...

Thanks, guys. I'll take a look at Doberman as well as the Music Man. I'm also going to see what it would take to retrofit a trem on a Carvin. There's got to be a way to make it all work to make that dream guitar a reality!

Thanks, porknchili! Looking at the Ibanez one now. The one thing I forgot to mention on the "must-haves" list is jumbo frets (with stainless steel being a nice-to-have). From what I know the Music Man is medium jumbo, but perhaps I should play one to see how the frets feel. Regarding Carvin...

Hi folks, I've posted this in the "Standard Guitars" forum, but thought I should post it here in case anyone knows luthiers or companies that can customize to what I'm looking for. I've been trying to look for a 6-string guitar with some of the following specs: - Flat neck radius 6-string...

Hi folks, I've been trying to look for a 6-string guitar with some of the following specs: - Flat neck radius 6-string guitar (ideally 20" radius, but 16-17" might be OK too, and preferably not a compound radius). - Floyd Rose or equivalent floating tremolo. - Only bridge and neck...

Hi guys, Just thought I'd share some of my recent experiences with slow practice - going back to basics. I've been playing guitar for a while, and while I suppose I was an alright intermediate player, I never pushed myself to the next level. "Practice" sessions used to basically end up as...

Thanks a bunch, fellas! All this feedback is of immense value to me. I really appreciate it. Tyler - I'm going to start looking at Ermin Hamidovic's "Systematic Mixing Guide" for my drum mixing. Everyone seems to swear by it, Interesting to hear your takes on the dissonant "solo". I tend...

Wow, dude! Thanks for the kind words. Very encouraging. I'll keep plugging away and getting better. I've actually quit playing in a band somewhat recently to focus more on developing my DIY style and skills, but once I feel comfortable with where I'm at, I'll definitely be looking to...

Hi folks, I'm just getting into the "DIY" musician thing where I'm writing and performing (and programming) all parts. This one is my first real attempt, so I'd love your feedback on the composition, and as a listener what you think works well, what might be missing, etc. Bonus points if you...

^bump. Anyone else? Composition/mix feedback? Fairly new to this, so your comments are much appreciated. I'll make a new mix based on the feedback I receive. Thanks in advance!

Oh no, no! Sorry, I should have explained better. I meant masters of other bands that I enjoy. I just burned the songs from their CDs onto my hard drive and imported them into my mastering session in Logic. The four tracks I used were: "Blackest Eyes" by Porcupine Tree, "Check My Brain" by Alice...

Groovy as hell, dude! I WANT MOAR!!

Dang! This is absolutely killer! I gotta tell you, Sithu - you're certainly an inspiration.

Oh, and I guess I should mention that I compressed the 0-150Hz range to tighten it up, and ran some stereo widener plugins on the higher frequency buses (like 4k+ or so).

Ah, thanks dude! That's nice to hear, and a good confidence booster. I'll keep plugging away. Fair play regarding the guitars. I've listened to this stuff ad nauseum, so I probably don't hear it, which is exactly why I'm looking for this kind of feedback from fresh ears. I'll see if anyone else...

Hi guys, I've been dabbling with writing and producing my own stuff after being heavily inspired by the new wave of DIY musicians. Here's my first proper composition and mix. I'd love your feedback! https://soundcloud.com/xxporcupinextreexx/sir-alexander-platypus-2-0 Cheers! :hbang:

Bumping an old thread. I'm interested in purchasing this DVD. Anyone have any reviews on it? Among all of Derryl Gabel's DVDs, this one seems to be the most holistic one I suppose - i.e. not specific to one area such as legato, or sweeping or something. I want to take it nice and slow and get...

Hey guys - at what expertise level do you recommend one to be at before purchasing Per's DVD? I'm not a beginner or anything, but I'm not quite at "shred" level. Is this something that's better suited to someone who's already able to shed above speeds of around 140bpm, or is this rudimentary...

Alright guys, looks like no one had a solution. But I found this little gadget online which I was able to purchase from Amazon: Ebtech - Audio Solutions Plugged my iMac into it, plugged it into the power outlet, and no more computer noises. So definitely a ground loop issue. I have Apple...
